Obsidian Solutions Group has been awarded a $97.9 million Marine Corps contract to develop training doctrine and scenarios.
Under the Marine Corps Tactics and Operations contract, Obsidian will “support the development and refinement of the foundational underpinnings of training‐doctrine, mission essential tasks, training and readiness tasks, and the synchronization of ground combat element training programs,” according to the Department of Defense contract announcement.
In addition, Obsidian will design training that “includes the ability to immerse the training audience (both individual and staff) in a high fidelity, joint, interagency, inter‐governmental, multinational real world operational scenario that forces the training audience to plan and execute operations across the spectrum from major combat operations, to crisis response and limited contingency operations, which will be driven by program of record command and control systems federated with program of record simulations.”
The contract is scheduled to be completed by September 2023.
